DreamWorks Animation plans to put Lassie back in the spotlight

She's an American icon with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But it has been four decades since she had her own prime-time TV show, on which her courage, loyalty and knack for saving the day endeared her to millions of baby boomers.

Can Lassie really come home again?

A Hollywood studio is hoping so. Glendale-based DreamWorks Animation, creator of the "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda" movies, plans to put the charismatic collie back in the public eye, along with Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and other decades-old characters.
